Thread Name: BS: Stolen Greek art
Subject: RE: BS: Stolen Greek art
I see it as pretty cut and dried. The facts are those pieces were taken from Greece, and neither Elgin nor anyone else had a right to take them. The excuse that they were not being cared for is just that, an excuse. The situation in which Elgin found them no longer exists and they should be returned. Stolen property is stolen property. Period.
